Still a murderer. Regardless of how much we agree with his reasons and the rest of the outcomes.
Fuck that CEO, and fuck the entire US health insurance system, but I'm just not going to delude myself that this guy did not murder the piece of shit.
Edit: See, this is exactly what I'm so against. Too many people are willing to shit on anyone who says anything slightly negative about this guy, all while throwing logic out the window. This is disgusting and outright dangerous behavior.
People need to not lose sight that things got so bad that this guy had to take it this far. Downplaying the fact this was murder is not good.
And yet, actions taken by the UHC CEO have doubtlessly caused far, far more suffering and death. Why aren't you criticizing him?
I do when people try to defend the CEO.
You can criticize both a piece of shit profiting off the misery of others, and the person that murdered him in cold blood and took a father away from two children. You can also criticize them both without equating them, in fact.
Exactly. I'm glad someone gets it.
I think where people are going is that when you are fighting a class war, being netural is actually picking their side tbh
I'm not being neutral by not advocating for murder. I don't know why that concept is so hard for people to swallow.
People voted for privatized healthcare. They created the UHC. Nobody holds a vote for vigilante murder, nor is anything significant gained by setting the killer free.
Just treat it as a fair trade.
You seem to be getting dangerously close to advocating for imprisonment of Luigi Mangione. Imprisonment is a violent act, and nobody here wants to be exposed to somebody advocating violence.
Imprisonment is the method employed to minimize violence.
You're thinking of torture.
Isn't that the same thing in US?
Hurr hurr sick burn bro, lets set every single murderer free. /s
Ah yes, because every single prisoner ever was imprisoned for murder, and was actually guilty
The context of our discussion is highly specific, no?
You have been making generalized statements in every other comment in this thread. Is it only specific when convenient?
The laws apply to everyone, making an exception for Luigi is up to the judge and jury.
Brian Thompson, the CEO who was killed and raised the denial rate of UHC to be twice the industry average, was also unelected.
